SHERMAN ON SILVER.
The Ohio Senator's Views on the Continus-
ton of Silver Coinage.

ton of Silver Coinage.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-Mr Sherman was
inquired of whether he had any new views
mon the silver question, and replied that
he had none that he had not freely COM
municated to the public, that be had IN
tended TO speak upon the subject In sup
port of the bill he introduced, but he found
such an adversely of opinion THAI ne thouges
it impractlcable to secure the passage OF tae
bill, and therefore didn't care TO conSu1ae
the time of the Senate uselessly. He said
he was firmly of the opinion expressed by
him in the Chamber of Commerce, IN San
Francisco, in 1880, that the interests OF the
producers, as we'll as she people OF the
whole country would be greatly tcnehted
through the stoppage OF the coinage OF the
standard silver dollar, that the vast volume
of these CONS in the treasury and the pos
sihility of their being at any tiRe thrown
upon the market, had disturbi@g influence
upon the commercial value OF silver. he
believed N would be much TIE wiser 10
place in tie treasury the silver bullion pur-
chasediR open market, and issue coin GER
tSfi.ates based upon market r=alue, and no
move. This would relieve bankers, aud
1uhers from the fear of > single silver
standard, and would abolis5. the absurdlty
of the Governp ent buying at one rate or

O considerable time, - change In ratio
hould be4nade by the'concurrence of com
nnercial nations. In she United States no

be in active circulatMl, and the best repre-
sentativcs of these metals are the coin GER

the two metals. SVch an adjustment could
be accS mplished bE a simple act OF Con-
| gress suspending the coinage of the stand

| purchase of silver bullion and the issue OF
| certif Gates for its cost. Sherman said he
would stake his population upon the sure
and teady advance of silver bullion that
would be causS6 by such policy. Elk
perience, now For nine years, has shown
that the tendency of the present system OF
coming the standard dollar is to deDreciate
and reduce thesvalue of silver bullion Elk
fperience is worth more than theory, how

How They Utilize Shoe Buttoners In the
Course of Their Business.
It Is singular fact that nine out of
ten of the '.bumsn and tramps brought
into the station-house have on their
persons a shoe-buttoner. No matter
what kind of shoes they wear still they
have one of these simple instru-
ments. Lieutenant Handbook decided
to make a collection of shoe-buttoners
taken from the prisoners brought into
Bremen Street Station. In seven days
they numbered eighteen, and like
young ladies do with their strings of
buttons, he attached them together
He has now a chain some three feet in
length. A peculiar thing is that the
hook end is bent into a variety of
shapes. This pepchant for having but
toners attracted the attention OF the
detectives long ago. and it was quite a
while before they ''tumbled" as the
slang phrase goes. 1t happened to
strike some bright-minded fly that
the little instrument, usually very tiexi-
BILE, could be made to do the work of a
skeleton key as far as the locks in COM
mon use are concerned. In reality
the Shee-buttoner, to all intents and
purposes. was converted into a burg
lars tool, and still could be readily
passed off as necessary Implement in
arranging ones toilet. The possession
of skeleton key is serious offense
and carries with conviction a penal
term. The law, however, can not
regard the shoe-buttoner as contra
band article, and still the evil-intended
are as we'll fortified with it as with the
burglars favorite tool, since, when
properly shaped, it does the work
equally as we'll. The expert can pick
a lock with one of these little iron
hooks with as much facility as if he
had skeleton key, and yet If caught
with it in his possession enjoys immu-
nifty from the statute covering the
offense. Usually when one of these
! instruments is found on a prisoner s
person it is thrown away, or perhaps,
given back, if the owner Us released.
No doubt ia the course of u year several
hundred are taken up by the police.
The amount of theft that could be
traced to them would very probably

prevailed. Havre was reported lower and
receipts at Rio were liberal There has
not been as yet any serious check to con-
sumption as result OF higher prices, but
tits too soon to see what the effect of re-

the higher prices draw out large quantities
of coffee from Other countries, and these
will contribute to make good the deficiency
